Written by an international team of specialists (though the majority are in the US), the 82 chapters of this text offer a thorough and up-to-date discussion of the drugs used to treat HIV. Three introductory chapters are devoted to diagnosis and primary care of HIV-infected patients. The chapters on therapies are divided into the broad topics of antiretroviral, immune-based, complementary and alternative therapies; management in special clinical settings; opportunistic processes--this includes 24 chapters on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of illnesses that include hepatitis, international parasitic infections, and herpes--approaches to specific syndromes, and drug administration and interactions. A separate chapter is provided on HIV/AIDS-related internet resources. The editors acknowledge that the management discussed focuses on developed nations, but have added a chapter on the differences in patient populations in developing countries (and hold out hope that soon management parameters will be homogenous worldwide). The volume includes access to a related website, which is updated with new clinical developments. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
